The study analyses the most recent novel by Milan Kundera The Festival of Insignificance. The novel explores themes such as existential models and motif variations from previous works by the author including numerous phenomenological filiations. The study theorizes about possible interpretations of the title of the book and the fates of the characters within the life struggles of the given time. It does not exclude the border between life and death. It seeks out answers to questions which emerge and are linked with the position of humans and the roles of one’s own picture of in the eyes of others. The reader becomes witness to both private and public festivals, with both of them, however, bearing the marks of their participants and being connected to the world as a theatrum mundi in which everything is relative.

The aim of the piece is to characterize the ways in which the novel The Joke (1967) by Milan Kundera and its film adaptation (directed by Jaromil Jireš, 1968) show the relationship between man and totalitarian power. The study depicts the means by which the communist society used mechanisms of re-education of the individual. The key concepts applied for this analysis are homo sovieticus (Józef Tischner) and total institution (Erving Goffman). The goal of the study is to broaden the understanding of totalitarianism from a narrow political concept to philosophical and sociological meaning.

Barthes’s death-of-the-author metaphor strongly influenced the following period’s reflections on the poetics of a literary work. Revisiting the metaphor should show its problematic argumentation core. Consequently, the death of the author is conceived as a conceptual metaphor instead of conceiving it as an emphatic gesture of the essayists. Further, we explore the absence of the authorial subjectivity in the writings of two distinctive Czech writers (Milan Kundera and Bohumil Hrabal) in the context of one-way pattern of communication, and in conclusion with regard to the pragmatics of Barthes’s essay writing.
